Why VetMatch™
Everything you need to build your
extern program

Stop sifting through cold emails. VetMatch™ brings qualified, motivated students directly to your practice listings.

Targeted Student Pool
Every student on VetMatch™ is either enrolled in a veterinary professional program or an undergraduate pre-vet or high school student. No irrelevant applications — just the right candidates for your externship, internship, shadowing slot, short-term role, or full-time position.
Post in Minutes
Create a detailed listing for an externship, internship, or shadowing opportunity in under 5 minutes. Set your specialty, stipend, duration, and year requirements — and go live immediately.
Built-in Application Manager
Review applications, read cover notes, download resumes, and update statuses — all from one clean dashboard. No spreadsheets, no external tools, no email threads.
Automated Notifications
Students are notified at every stage — interview request, offer, or not selected. Accepted students receive your offer details, start date, and clinic contact info automatically.
Offer & Onboarding Tools
Send formal offers with start dates and welcome notes. Students can accept or decline directly from their dashboard — no back-and-forth emails required.
Resume & Interest Matching
See each applicant's school, year, interests, and resume at a glance. Set filters on your listing so only the most relevant students see and apply to your role.
Showcase Your Practice
Upload photos, videos, and documents directly to your practice profile. Give students a real look at your facility, team, and environment before they decide to apply.
Build Your Reputation
Students who complete an externship can leave a review of their experience. A strong track record helps your listings stand out and attract more motivated applicants over time.
Simple process
Up and running in four steps

No training required. Most practices receive their first application within 48 hours of posting.

1
Create Your Practice Profile
Add your practice name, location, specialties, and a short bio. Upload photos, videos, and documents to give students a real sense of your practice before they apply.
2
Post a Listing
Describe the opportunity, set the dates and year requirement, and optionally add a stipend. Your listing goes live immediately.
3
Review & Interview
See every application in your dashboard — name, school, year, interests, resume, and cover note. Move promising candidates to Interview before committing.
4
Confirm the Placement
Send an offer with a start date and welcome message. The student gets notified, confirms directly, and contact details are exchanged automatically.

Frequently asked questions
No. The Starter plan is completely free and includes one active posting with full applicant management. You only need to upgrade if you want to post multiple roles simultaneously or access premium features like featured listings.
You can see each applicant's full name, veterinary school, current year, declared interests (small animal, equine, exotic, etc.), uploaded resume or CV, and their optional cover note. Phone number and email are revealed once you send an offer and the student confirms.
When you're ready to accept a student, you select "Accepted" in their application row and optionally add a start date and welcome message. VetMatch™ sends the student an email with your offer details and clinic contact information. The student can then accept or decline directly from their dashboard, and you'll receive an email either way.
Yes. On the Practice plan, you can add up to 5 supervisors to your practice account. Each supervisor can be listed on your practice profile so students know who they'll be working with. Enterprise plans support unlimited team members.
Closing or archiving a posting removes it from the public listing but preserves all application history. You can still access applicant records, resumes, and notes for past postings at any time from your dashboard.
No contract, no minimum term. Paid plans are billed monthly and you can cancel anytime. The Practice plan also includes a 14-day free trial so you can experience the full feature set before committing.
VetMatch™ supports practices across all veterinary specialties — small animal general practice, emergency and critical care, equine, large animal, exotic and zoo medicine, oncology, surgery, and more. Both independent practices and large multi-location groups use the platform.
